Wednesday, 02/12/15 TEKS: P.7E Describe and predict image formation as a consequence of reflection from a plane mirror and refraction through a thin convex lens. By the end of today, IWBAT… Essential Question: Topic: Light & Optics What are Ray Diagrams? Analyze different wave characteristics, including reflection and refraction. Reflecting And Refracting Light Regular Reflection: Mirrors Plane Mirrors: Flat Mirrors Concave Mirrors: Mirrors that are curved inward. Convex Mirrors: Mirrors that are curved outward. Send rays straight back Send rays inward Send rays outward Reflecting And Refracting Light Regular Reflection: Mirrors Plane Mirrors: Convex Mirrors: Concave Mirrors: Reflecting And Refracting Light Regular Reflection: Mirrors Thicker media refracts light more. Optics: the overall study of how light behaves Geometric Optics focuses on the creation of images. It is based on relationships between angles and lines that describe light rays. Reflection and Refraction A lens is an optical device that is used to bend light in a specific way. A converging lens bends light so that the light rays come together to a point. A diverging lens bends light so it spreads light apart instead of coming together. Reflection and Refraction Mirrors reflect light, while prisms are optical devices that can cause light to change directions. A prism is a solid piece of glass with flat polished surfaces. Reflection Images appear in mirrors because of how light is reflected by mirrors. The incident ray follows the light falling onto the mirror. The reflected ray follows the light bouncing off the mirror. Reflection In specular reflection each incident ray bounces off in a single direction. A surface that is not shiny creates diffuse reflection. In diffuse reflection, a single ray of light scatters into many directions. Law of Reflection The incident ray strikes the mirror. The reflected ray bounces off. The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Law of Reflection A light ray is incident on a plane mirror with a 30 degree angle of incidence. Sketch the incident and reflected rays and determine the angle of reflection. 30o 30o Reflection • We describe the path of light as straight-line rays • Reflection off a flat surface follows a simple rule: – angle in (incidence) equals angle out (reflection) – angles measured from surface “normal” (perpendicular) surface normal incident ray same angle exit ray reflected ray Reflection Vocabulary • Real Image – – Image is made from “real” light rays that converge at a real focal point so the image is REAL – Can be projected onto a screen because light actually passes through the point where the image appears – Always inverted Reflection Vocabulary • Virtual Image– –“Not Real” because it cannot be projected –Image only seems to be there!
